More people should learn how to write and read properly.

Judging by multiple work environments: it doesn't look like that has been a core-skill in our education systems in decades.

I truly wonder how anything gets done.

petit príncep -. Al matí, quan has acabat d'arreglar-te, has d'arreglar amb compte el planeta."

I just ran against a weird issue in a Debian Docker image where 'echo stuff > /dev/stderr' would **replace** stderr's current content with "stuff".

Had to s! > /dev/stderr! >> /dev/stderr!g to get the thing to work properly O.ô.

Wondering if it's a Docker thing.

2020: We have RFC6578 [1] since 2012 and still exactly zero decent WebDAV clients with synchronisation.

I'd even pay for something like mountainduck.io (even if it were OSS and free and whatever if they gave me the option), but mind you, it's only for Mac/Windows.

OSS things.

*sigh* this would have saved me many an hour:
"IPv6 dies without ICMPv6, as IPv6 doesn’t support packet fragmentation. If you use IPv6, never block ICMPv6 as a whole. Blocking parts of ICMPv6 without destroying your network requires careful research and testing."
@mwlucas

"I’m not going to name sites accessible only via IPv4, because if I do, those sites will add IPv6 half an hour after this book reaches the printer."
@mwlucas, maybe you should have mentioned @GithHub@twitter.com :-D.

Ich finde es interessant, wie das Internet "denkt", dass "Liebeskummer" eine Sache exklusiv der Frauen wäre.

Redet ihr Männer etwa nicht darüber? Leidet ihr nicht daran?

🤦‍♀️ I just realised: echo 'a' | cut -d ',' -f 2
reuturns 'a' and not '' as I expected.

#RIPE80 on why IPv6 deployment is hard: "There are two kind of issues: technology and people. The former is easier than the latter and mostly solved."

I've been thinking a lot about this lately:

Our generalised "OH SHINY" culture is detrimental long-term if nobody is willing do the "boring" maintenance work.
Funnily enough, there is plenty of innovation waiting to happen at work in the latter.
And in inter-personal relationships, those are *precisely* the rewarding bits.

Sunny confinement activities: upgrading datacenterlight.ch #FreeBSD images (dualstack and IPv6-only). Automating the process while at it.

Learnt a thing or two of #FreeBSD
releng team's work with that, could come in handy some day.

The whole thing is obviously Open Source, like most things at ungleich.ch:

Me using Linux these days: ^T^T^T^T^T^T^T^T
